Small Talk

[Verse 1]

You say that life is a joke

Sneaking out back just to light up a smoke

The crowds will be taking you home tonight

The drunks will be driving you home tonight

Quick on your feet you’ve got nothing to lose

Your charm is a weapon and your mind is abuse

There’s one in the chamber and you’re gripping it tight

One in the chamber and your knuckles are white

She’s staying out late wasting her days

Waking in new sheets then heads to her place

Pull up a seat like there’s time to kill

Slipping you lace like it pays the bills


[Chorus]

Try to find a hole in me all this will ever be is small talk

Try to grab ahold of me all this will ever be is small talk


[Verse 2]

You say that love isn’t fair

Pull me back under when I’m gasping for air

There’s a new tune playing in the back of your head

And a rumor in town you don’t like what it says

And it’s not unlikely that you caught me off guard

Chalk it up to luck you’re playing all of your cards

Sleight of hand has got you some money to spend

But ripping off assholes doesn’t pay the rent


[Verse 3]

Smooth talker but you ran out of luck

Your mind is all foggy and you don’t give a fuck

It seams last night you lost track of the time

Confidence has got you speaking your mind

And the wishing was easy but the leaving was hard

Why be you when that’s what sets you apart

Digging up courage tossing nothing away

I’m my own best friend at the end of the day


[Chorus]

[Outro] x2

It’ll come to you when you’re somewhere else

It’ll come to you when you’re someone else

No rush so don’t go running

No rush so don’t go running

It’ll come to you when you’re somewhere else

It’ll come to you when you’re someone else

It’s nothing

It’s nothing

It's nothing
